New V&A bedding - blue

The second set of new bedding I bought for my new place :)

I think I might prefer this one to the pink one. The pink one is lovely, and very princessy, but this is simple...

...and the cat loves attacking the pink one and because it's embroidered some of the threads have started to come out of the stitching :/

With its pattern of red roses, white lace, blue pinstripes and tiny blue flowers I think it's girly without being too girly and I can't wait to cuddle up in it tonight!

New V&A bedding - pink

My new V&A (Victoria and Albert Museum) bedding arrived last week! Finally found the time to wash the new set, dry it naturally, and dress the bed up in its new threads :D

It's too girly for my sister but since the pink is pale I like it. Ideally I wanted the silver bedding they had but it was too popular and sold out on Achica before I could get it :(

Ready for me!

This was taken earlier this week, after all my sister's ex-flatmate's crap was taken out of the room, everything cleaned and rearranged to my liking.

It's ready for me to put my finishing touches on it!

Aviator Blanket!

It's been a very cold day here! It was only 6 degrees when I woke up, even though it's still September. It was so cold my sister's cat climbed under the quilt to cuddle up to me.

So I decided that I needed a throw for both on top of my blanket for when I sleep and for when I'm on the sofa. There are a lot of blankets at my parents' house but I didn't have any of my own here at my sister's.

Habitat was a disappointment, but then again it was only a small habitat, so I hopped on the bus to the local shopping centre and had a rummage around John Lewis. Most of the throws didn't have any character, though they were good quality and decently priced...

Until I spotted this one tucked away on the bottom of shelf! Done in a wool and leather aviator style, complete with buckle straps to keep it neat when not in use and a handle fit easy carrying, I fell in love with it.

I'm using it now on the sofa (second image), so comfortable!

Aviator throw (I couldn't find an official name for it), John Lewis, £60.

The downside? Dry clean only. And pure polyester! But I do love it, I like my accessories to have character, even my homeware.
